Chinese company Machenike has released a budget gaming monitor with the index MZQ25F180. Despite its affordable price, its characteristics are comparable to some significantly more expensive models. The new product is equipped with a 24.5-inch IPS  In Plane Switching (IPS) panels are an expensive option but they have excellent colour accuracy and far greater viewing angles then TN and VA panels (Not that we condone slouching while gaming). They are great for graphics design and photo editing. However, the only downside to IPS panels if that they can sometimes have a slower response time than TN panels. This is the only real problem if you’re a very competitive gamer or want to game in 3D. As of late “IPS” has become a big marketing word. Step into an Apple store and you would be hard pressed talking to someone that didn’t mention Apple’s “brand new IPS Displays!” In fact, Apple is probably one of the biggest marketers of this “new-found” technology. As a business person myself, this is when you have to tip your hat to Apple’s awesome marketing machine. Why? Well, because IPS is actually nothing new. In fact, this technology was originally invented in 1996 by Hitachi..screen with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, a refresh rate of 180 Hz, a maximum brightness of 300 cd/m², and a response time of 1 ms (GtG). It supports HDR10 and has an extended color gamut (99% sRGB and 95% P3).In addition, the monitor uses blue light reduction technology, supports AMD Free Sync, is compatible with NVIDIA G-Sync, and is equipped with built-in gaming tools. The latter include an on-screen crosshair and an fps counter. The model's set of interfaces includes HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort 1.4 connectors, and the package includes a stand with adjustable tilt angle and a smartphone holder. The Machenike MZQ25F180 is already available in China for $98. |
